Pain is not currency.
Do not forget.
Experience does not make you better,
Only accountable for what you beget.
Write of your struggles,
Triumphs and creeds.
But it makes you not better
Than those that can't read.
Perception is everything,
Whether man or a beast.
A sprout within famine
Can become a fine feast.

Pain is not currency.
Do not forget.
Experience does not make you better,
Only accountable for what you beget.
Write of your struggles,
Triumphs and creeds.
But it makes you not better
Than those that can't read.
Perception is everything,
Whether man or a beast.
A sprout within famine
Can become a fine feast.
